I posted the following response:
How can you say that our unanimous voices are being heard, and then throw it in our faces by saying that you're going to sign HB 1224, 1228, and 1229? If you had ACTUALLY read any of the comments posted here, you would understand that your political goals are NOT in line with what the people of Colorado want. I hope you realize your foolishness when Magpul gives you the middle finger and leaves Colorado and gives their revenue to a state that is much more deserving. Since you claim that you ARE actually reading our comments, I demand a well-reasoned response to why you plan to sign HB 1224, 1228, and 1229.

Wishful thinking but wrong. The Ink is already dry when they hit his desk. If anyone actually believes (again) hick will loose an opportunity to boost his standing with the O admin and D's in general. You are smoking crack.
IF the senate rejects any or the bills i will buy you lunch.

Mr. Hickenlooper,
In the midst of yet ANOTHER hit and run accident in Colorado, I have a few questions for you. I did some digging and it looks like about this time last year, Colorado Politicians were trying to find a solution to fix this under HB 1084. Under this bill, representatives (including Rhonda Fields) understood that a good way to stop these would be to increase the penalties for it. It made so much sense to everyone that there wasn't a single opponent. Brilliant!
So why, when trying to stop gun violence, do we start at making things more difficult for law abiding citizens instead of stiffening penalties for crimes involved firearms? In regards to hit and runs, politicians didn't look at making it harder to purchase a car. They didn't propose background checks before purchasing a car to ensure that criminals/undocumented/habitual offenders aren't getting behind the wheel. Why didnt they look at that? Why aren't we proposing bills to require proof of insurance for EVERY car purchase, not just ones from dealers? Don't we call that a loophole? The logic you and other representatives are trying to apply to gun violence is completely backwards from the very logic you used one year ago! That is why there is so much opposition to it. Please rethink your methods on this. Educated voters are paying attention.
Here is the link to HB 1084 article I referenced.

Funny. Several of my posts from last night have been deleted.
People love the truth only when it suits them. Free speech and all.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
Mine was civil, however I did say he was all about himself and his advancement in politics. Guess it got to them so WHhhooosh it was gone.
And then maybe the part about "My grandpaw always said never trust a man the grins all the time, he's up to something no good".
